Things are going on.

Secret things.

Commonwealth Games Arrangements Act banned-from-reporting things.

There is a giant tram inside the MCG and there are dozens of 'fish' floating in the middle of the Yarra River. Things are getting ready for tomorrow, the details and pictures of which are not to be shared, hush-hush or the Victorian Government will get ya!

Anyway the ban is over now thanks, in part, to John Howard saying a ban like this was bullshit. Which it is! After all, anybody in town can see everything that's going on with their own two eyes!

There's a huge line of fish the whole way along the 1km of river between the Princess and Swan St bridges. I say 'fish' but in truth there's also a shrimp, a tortoise, a dolphin and a couple of whales out there.

Each fish platform has two 'fish', one facing each side of the bank and representing a totem water animal from a Commonwealth Country.

New Zealand doesn't get to have a totem animal. Hmph.

Yesterday other platforms were put together and towed out between each fish. These platforms have all the flags of the Commonwealth on them. Whereas the fish wont look like much from above, these flags are essentially invisible from the banks. But you can read the name of the country on them, and I did ID the Enzed one.

The parade of animals terminates in a floating dais and a set of stairs out of the river, up to the Swan St Bridge. The MCG is just along the way from there.

The last fish before the dais is the Roach, representing England. I think Lewis Holden would appreciate that. :)
